Photographs are one of the most important aspects of our wedding. Since we have a while to plan (so that all of the ideas that have been running through my head all these years can come to fruition) I’ve been looking at images that really speak to me to show potential photographers. I want to make sure that someone can capture the mood of the wedding and our love for each other. We don’t want to see each other before the ceremony, so it’s extremely important for us to have those “first look” photos captured while the ceremony is taking place. Then of course there are the obligatory portraits that will happen during cocktail hour. With only an hour to get all of them in, we have to make sure to choose someone who really gets us. Here are the photos that are bringing me pretty darn close to tears this Wedding Wednesday.

Wedding Wednesday takes on a new meaning now that I’m engaged. When I look at wedding blogs like Style Me Pretty and Grey Likes Weddings (a new favorite), I can’t help but envision what our day will look like. You can take a look at my n&a board on Pinterest to see what I’m pinning along the way but here is my first wedding inspiration board, crazy huh?

I’ve been obsessing, just a little, over floral halos on brides. Maybe it’s because I remember begging my parents to buy me one at the renaissance faire so that I could be a princess, or maybe it’s because I’m just obsessed with “bohemian” weddings. Don’t you want to run barefoot in a field just looking at these brides? I know I do!

Happy Wednesday! Let’s talk weddings. I think wedding jewelry should be based off of your personal style. It’s such a great way to add a little drama to your wedding dress,or just the opposite. This may be obvious, but if your dress is heavily beaded, stick to smaller accessories. If your dress is plain don’t be afraid to go for bold jewelry, but make sure you don’t go overboard, you don’t want to take away from that new rock! Here are some of my absolute favorites.

Happy Wedding Wednesday! I’ve recently realized the importance of having your wedding photographer capture images of just how happy the bride is on her wedding day. I’ve been pinning images of brides a lot lately, and these ladies are glowing!

Is it just me or is the back of a wedding dress just as important as the front? Especially if you’re going to be married in a church, people are going to be looking at your back for an awful lot of the ceremony… not to mention those people in the back row have a lot of looking to do before you get to the front of the aisle! Here are some of my absolute favorite backs of wedding dresses.

I’m all about wedding flowers that are just a little different. A unique color scheme or grouping of flowers that add texture can really make a big impact on your day. Here are some of my favorite ways to add that dramatic effect to your wedding.

I love lace. The boyfriend, not so much. I believe lace gowns look like “tablecloths” to him. Blasphemy. Well, surprise Andrew… someday I’ll be walking down the aisle in one of these bad boys! PS: I love you as much as I love lace.

I just had to share these images with you. There is so much pretty in these four photos I’m about to explode. Doesn’t this make you want to frolic around in a field wearing a wedding dress and holding that gorgeous bouquet? I know I’m not the only one.
